Dear all,
is there a way to export only the questions in a test and not all questions of the category?
Thanks and best regards,
Abe
Which version of moodle are you using?
2.3 to 2.6
I can test in each version.
I'm afraid that there isn't. I agree it would be a logical feature to add.
The only way to do it at the moment is to move those questions into a separate category.
Ok, thank you.
I have another question:
I want to export a cloze questions with the Dollar sign
for example:{1:MULTICHOICE:= y,y,$3 ~ $3,y,y}
in the XML-File: {1:MULTICHOICE:=y,y, ~ ,y,y}
The $3 is missing.
moodle thinks it's a PHP variable.
I have replaced them with ascii-code $, that works, but we have many such words. Can I do this export as a string?
I'm slighly suprised not-one else has hit that bug before. It was actually a bug with using preg_replace, not PHP. Anyway, MDL-43809. There is a fix there. Just needs peer review.
that works very well. Thank you very much
is there a way to copy the questions and not move?
The easiest way is to export the questions as Moodle XML, then re-import them where you want the copy.
ok, that was my last resort.
thx.
Have you thought of the make copy button in the editing interface and saving under a new name?
In the first way, I have to reselect all quiz-questions from the collection and move it to a separate category.

Yes, i do. that only makes a copy of the references. In this case, If I doing some modified on the questions, all of these changes will be applied to the past one.
"Yes, i do. that only makes a copy of the references. In this case, If I doing some modified on the questions, all of these changes will be applied to the past one."
Have you checked that, or is that an assumption?
of course I have checked it.
I frequently make copies of questions to generate slight variations and find this to be very effective. Are you certain you have tried the Make Copy button for this purpose. I have spent a large amount of time working with the question code and if there was any concept of a reference to a question (apart from within a quiz), I think I would have noticed.
A question within a quiz is a reference to an actual question in the database, and if you change that underlying question it will change the question in any quiz where it is used.
Ok, now I know what did you mean. There you can copy a single questions.
I made a duplication of the quiz. This has only made references.
